The chapter analyzes 22 of Escher's design in terms of black-white symmetry and assigns each a symbol in the international notation describing its symmetries. In the third chapter, Patterns with Polychromatic Symmetry, the analysis is extended to 7 of Escher's design possessing three or more colors. The book is printed in full color to ...

Escher's art became well known among scientists and mathematicians, and in popular culture, especially after it was featured by Martin Gardner in his April 1966 Mathematical Games column in Scientific American. Apart from being used in a variety of technical papers, his work has appeared on the covers of many books and albums.
Measuring 19 cm × 680 cm (7 + 1 ⁄ 2 in × 22 ft 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 in), this is Escher's largest print. It was printed on thirty-three blocks on six combined sheets. It begins identically to Metamorphosis II, with the word metamorphose (the Dutch form of the word metamorphosis) forming a grid pattern and then becoming a black-and-white checkered ...
Circle Limit III is a woodcut made in 1959 by Dutch artist M. C. Escher, in which "strings of fish shoot up like rockets from infinitely far away" and then "fall back again whence they came". [1] It is one of a series of four woodcuts by Escher depicting ideas from hyperbolic geometry. Dutch physicist and mathematician Bruno Ernst called it ...
M. C. Escher: Visions of Symmetry is a book by mathematician Doris Schattschneider published by W. H. Freeman in 1990. The book analyzes the symmetry of M. C. Escher's colored periodic drawings and explains the methods he used to construct his artworks. Escher made extensive use of two-color and multi-color symmetry in his periodic drawings ...
